👀 Can you guess what’s abnormal in this dog’s bladder based off this X-RAY? 🐾

Meet Molly, the brave 6-year-old Shih Tzu cross! 🐾 She recently came to MASH after struggling to urinate. An X-ray revealed the culprit being bladder stones (also called cystoliths) 🪨, which, if left untreated, can block the urethra and become life-threatening.

With the skilled hands of our specialist surgeon, Molly underwent a cystotomy to remove the stones safely. 💉🩺 Thanks to a smooth surgery and lots of TLC, Molly recovered beautifully and has been thriving in her post-op period. 🌸💪

🔍 Can you guess what this foreign object is?

Poor Billy the Labrador hadn’t been himself for a few days—vomiting, and just not his usual happy self. A trip to the vet and an X-ray later... we spotted this.

Any guesses what it could be?

SWIPE to see the most handsome culprit and then the last photo as to what was retrieved from Billy.

🐶 Billy was rushed into surgery to have them safely removed, and thanks to our amazing team, he’s now on the mend and feeling much brighter and back to his happy and bouncy self!

Safe to say, he’s been benched from backyard golf for now!
